Having watched the recent shimmy and gear leg stiffner videos, there seem to be a group of non-builder owners like myself who haven't addressed some of this stuff.
With my giant tires, I still have a bit of shimmy that starts about 25mph ground speed and goes away about 32-35mph. I haven't been able to solve this with wheel balance.
It doesn't bother me, but I'm curious if my gear legs were stiffer, would it eliminate that.
* I'm also concerned that if I stiffen the legs, I might create a problem when I have a no flare landing like this one in a rough field...*

What say those of you who know better?
